Richard Arnold: US Correspondent on the first day of the Democratic National Convention

Joe Biden reflected on his legacy and laid a case against Donald Trump in a rousing address.  

The President's speech ended the first day of the Democratic National Convention where Kamala Harris will accept the presidential nomination. 

Biden says crime has fallen under his presidency - and will continue to fall when a prosecutor is elected President, ahead of a convicted felon.  

Biden says Harris will be a President the nation can be proud of - and will put her stamp on America's future.  

In the same vein, Hillary Clinton declared that 'the future is here', saying that Harris has the character, experience, and vision to lead the nation forward. 

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that while Donald Trump has been reviving his old tune of American carnage and saying that America is a nation in decline, that wasn’t the vibe last night.
